The glaciers on average decrease by 25 metres annually, compared with 5-6 metres around two decades ago, scientists concluded after studying the development of the glaciers over 130 years through ...
Satellite observations have revealed the Greenland ice sheet’s rapid thinning, which has accelerated as the planet warms Incredible satellite images show Greenland’s massive ice sheet melting ...
The Petermann Glacier in northwestern Greenland is one of the largest glaciers connecting the Greenland ice sheet with the Arctic Ocean. Petermann's ice flow has accelerated in recent years ...
If the Paris Agreement goal of staying below 2 °C (3.6 °F) is achieved, melting of Greenland ice alone would still add around 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) to global sea level rise by the end of the century. If there are no reductions in emissions, melting would add around 13 cm (5 in) by 2100, [19]: 1302 with a worst-case of about 33 cm (13 in). [20]
The glacier terminus region also had a consistent velocity of 20 metres (66 ft) per day (maximum of 26 metres (85 ft) per day in the glacier center), from season to season and year to year, the glacier seemed to be in balance from 1955 to 1985. [16] The position of this terminus fluctuated by 2.5 km (1.6 mi) around its annual mean position ...
The Mittivakkat Glacier is located in southeast Greenland, and is part of the largest ice field on Ammassalik Island. This glacier has been in retreat (negative net mass balance) throughout most of recorded history (1898–2008). [1] Reindeer bones were recovered from the retreating glacier in 2005, and dated to about 1200-1300 AD. [2]
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are now losing more than three times as much ice a year as they were 30 years ago, according to a new comprehensive international study. Using 50 different ...
Petermann Glacier (Danish: Petermann Gletsjer) is a large glacier located in North-West Greenland to the east of Nares Strait. It connects the Greenland ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean at 81°10' north latitude, near Hans Island .
